Well, the next song is very appropriate.
Thursday afternoon on the 12th of November, 2010, my daughter and my brother took me from Shoal Creek Hospital to The Right Step Residential Rehab Center in Wimberley, Texas. They did take me by the see my wife in St. David's Hospital for about 30 minutes before we left for Wimberley. We got there around 3 p.m in the afternoon. Way out in the country, the center is an old bread and breakfast. Real nice setting.
It took about an hour for the administrator to interview me and tell me about rehab. They told me that I was going to be there for 30 days.
My daughter and my brother drove off about 4 and left me there. Because there was no room at the time in the residential area, I was put into the detox area for the afternoon. My roommate that afternoon was coming down off of opiates. He was wild eyed, I thought I was back in Shoal Creek.
If you are going to be in rehab I think this is a good one. Nice people taking care of you. But there you are out in the middle of nowhere and no way to get to anybody. The only people that knew where I was, was my family. Other folks just wondered what happened to me.
You have access to 2 phones, but if you don't know the phone number of someone, well that's just your bad luck. And there is usually a line to use the phones. This was going to take some adjustment.
But in the end, I was lucky cause they let me go after 28 days.
Life in rehab is next.
